The mushrooms in my omelet were SO GOOD and the housemaid tomato relish was very tasty. The staff were super friendly and personable, and from hearing them talk to other customers, it's clear they have regulars and they care about them. All in all, a great experience.

Bad coffee. Not many vegetarian options. All salads have meat. A lot of sugar and fat.read more

A friend of mine suggested it as a location for my new-parents coffee group and it has been a great location for us. I've had the flat whites and they are above-average. What makes me really happy is that they have a good supply of cronuts on a regular basis - delish! Last week I had a peppermint slice that tasted good, but was so rock hard I couldn't cut it with a knife. The staff have been friendly and attentive and accommodate our baby-sprawl without complaint. There are 2 large rooms for seating, as well as outdoor seating. There are some couches available as well, which has been nice for those of us newborn-toting mamas.

Wonderful baked items, fresh eggs, and thoughtful beverages. My favorite is the "Healthy Breakfast", pictured here with Scott's Salmon Gravlax & Horseradish Crème Fraice. It's heavenly and my most ordered breakfast. This is always the perfect start before a busy day either at work or exploring the Waikato region.

I have been coming at least once to this cafe for breakfast every time I am at Hamilton on business…read more- over 10 times. So, when I discovered they moved a bit down the road to a larger nicer locale I was expecting a better experience. But I was disappointed by the slow service. Now you seat at the table and they wait for you. But the waiter took too long to take my full order after getting my initial beverage order. And then I waited for 20 minutes and my order had not arrived. On top of that some items in the menu where not available as they run out of Hollandaise sauce. Looks like even if the place is bigger, they still have a little kitchen not able to serve the larger clientele, and they are disorganized. At the end they forgot of my orders and I left as I could not wait any longer for food. What a missed opportunity!

It's right next door to GelatAmore. The place was packed for a Friday (around noon) but there's plenty of seating inside and outside on their patio. You line up, order and pay at the counter. Then you're given a bottle with a number as your order. There's self serve filtered water in the back. The menu is up on the walls; eggs & brekkie stuff (all day), best ugly bagels, jaffles, Paddock burgers and other stuff. For drinks, there was coffee, iced, freshly squeezed juices and Paddock smoothies. There was a few display cases filled with pastries, fritattas and salads. - Boysenberry doughnut ($4.00 NZD) - we'd read that their doughnuts were "next level". Not the case. The doughnut was nothing special. - Smoked salmon, beetroot, cress, pickled shallots and jalapeño crème fraiche ($18.00 NZD) - eggs were soft and fluffy but for me, it was a lot of egg to eat. The beets were excellent as was the smoked salmon. A little too much crème fraiche but that's nitpicking. Beautiful presentation. - Smashed avocado, fresh basil pesto and poached egg ($14.00 NZD) - I've never understood the hype on smashed avo but I think I might get it now. Terrific! The sesame bagel was a perfect vehicle for the creamy avocado. The basil pesto was an excellent addition. I'll have to try that next time I make my own avocado. Poached egg was oozy. - Bacon buddy - streaky bacon, fried egg, tomato relish and aioli ($14.00 NZD) - my dad ordered this for himself. He combined the two bagel slices to make himself a bagel sandwich. Good place for brunch. Come for the ugly bagels and drinks.
